Television and movies are littered with every kind of perversion you can think of. We all look for solace in our faith, and what is happening? The Bishop of Rome wants us not to judge? Divorced and re-married Catholics are able to receive communion. Homosexual couples are bring their children to the Novus Ordo Churches here in NH, I don’t attend, but have been told that they do receive the sacraments? How does this frame the mind of the heterosexual children watching? What do you say to your priest when you try to voice your concerns and the Pope doesn’t even care? And his latest out burst on his plane trip back from the Philippines. That Catholics don’t have to breed like rabbits? What! Now I know this struck a chord in the Traditional community, but it also had a large back lash from the main stream Catholics (NO). So yet again the Pope issued an apology, what struck me is where I found this printed. It was in the SSPX News and Events page with Francis kissing the head of a small child And this caption: The editor of LifeSiteNews, John-Henry Westen, published on January 26th an editorial concerning Pope Francis' apology about his "breeding like rabbits" comments made during an in-flight press conference while returning to Rome from the Philippines. For the benefit of our readers, we have republished below Mr. Westen's editorial in full. 1 | P a g e Pope Francis sorry for remarks perceived as insulting large families: http://sspx.org/en/news-events/news/pope-sorry-for-breeding-like-rabbits-comments If they are not following Rome, and are following Archbishop Lefebvre, ask yourselves; would he have just let that comment go unchecked? Hasn’t the Catholic Church has always taught that marriage is for the procreation of children, not spacing them out, or natural family planning. This (below) is the sermon Fr. Pfeiffer delivered in NH. He is a true son of the Archbishop! He follows the true teaching of the true Church and damn the Torpedoes! God, give us more holy PRIESTS!! Fr. Pfeiffer’s excellent sermon on the Pope’s recent remarks and what the church has always taught: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wv7YXoXa0Qg&x-yt- ts=1422579428&x-yt-cl=85114404 Please also listen to Fr Hewko's latest sermon on Francis’ comments on the large Catholic family (below), then think to yourself, how many neo-SSPX priest have you heard speak out in this manner on Francis’ comments? Why is it, that no one will challenge this clown-nose wearing Pope on anything? Instead, what parishioners are hearing is a verbal pat on the head if they do speak out about these blatantly anti-Catholic statements are given the well-used, “oh he was taken out of context”, or “he didn’t mean it that way”. And too many are accepting of this line of rhetoric! God help us! There are three sermons on one long audio. The first sermon is on Francis’ comments. All three are brilliant typical Fr. Hewko sermons. I recommended to listen to all three, and enjoy! http://ourladyofmountcarmelusa.com/sermon-padre-hewko-three-sermons-january-2015/ OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE INTERCESSOR OF THE UNBORN, PRAY FOR US! Article #1 A dear friend of mine came across this article and I am so thankful for the opportunity to share a real Catholic mother’s view on the repulsive statement of the Bishop of Rome. Can there really be any off the cuff apology that is acceptable like the one we saw in the first post found in the neo—SSPX post? Forgive me if it seem uncharitable for me to have this attitude, but when is it going to be enough for the flock that is taking the beating at the hands of this Pope? How many apologies, or miss quotes do we need to endure? The damage he is doing to the faithful and the Church seems unforgivable. Pray for this man who is leading so many good souls to hell! I have been blessed with six children. Children I had by six Caesarean-sections. My C-sections were never because of convenience or fear of labor pains. Quite the contrary. I have always wanted to give birth naturally, but my firstborn went into fetal distress after 13 hours of labor. Meconium [1] and blood made his birth a medical emergency and the C-section inevitable to save his life. 2 | P a g e Thank God I gave birth in a time when the C-section is an option. Some decades before, and me and my boy would both be dead. Even though he had a very low initial APGAR [2], my firstborn recovered well and is a bright, family loving, good son. Unfortunately, in Brazil the practice of VBACs [3] is still very much discouraged. Down here, the saying goes “once a C-section, always a C-section”. And so, by no fault of my own, I had 6 C-sections. Even though I did not go through the pains of labor, I offered to God the post-surgery sufferings, which can be quite long and painful. I‘ve had good and responsible doctors. Doctors who assured me I could go on having children despite the number of C-sections. I even know mothers who have more than a dozen children via C-section. Anyway, I was blessed 6 times. Seven, if I count a pregnancy that did not go ahead. Every day, I face the curiosity, the disrespect, the jokes, the whispers and the comments by many people who think that, just because I have six children, they have the right to give their opinion on what is so sacred to me. I have way too many anecdotes. I have been stopped on the street walk and asked if “I did not care about the environment”. I have been laughed at dozens of times when asked if I did not have a TV at home (BTW, no! We do not, Thank God!), if I knew what caused pregnancies, if I did not have a hobby. And all that spoken inconveniently, without modesty, in front of my small children! I have been called ignorant, irresponsible. I’ve had to give financial explanations to strangers. Our family is frequently looked with disdain. Once, a doctor discretely suggested that I abort my 3rd child because it was somehow “dangerous”. My husband is always asked if his six children are from “the same wife”! Once, when we were outside under a pouring rain and in need of a cab, many taxi drivers went past us making signs with their hands meaning we were too many people. Too many people…. Can heaven be too crowded? Anyway, we have always endured the criticism with a few compliments here and there. The compliments that exalt my so-called courage were never our support for the sacrifice of having many children. People’s opinions, either good or bad, are irrelevant. Our focus, my husband’s and mine, was always Our Lord. It was always to do God’s will. And to do God’s will in what is the very purpose of matrimony: the procreation of children. Despite the antichristian society. Despite the cost. Despite the world! And now, I am afraid to say, despite the Pope! In all these years, and there goes 17 years of marriage, I have never heard the pearl the Bishop of Rome gave to the mothers of large families: rabbits! His Holiness was, and I say this with an aching heart, vulgar! Yes, vulgar! I would never dare to compare a catholic lady, wife and mother to an irrational animal. And a rabbit too! How would you think fathers would feel if compared to asses for working too much? Or poor people being called rats for not being dressed up? Or if people in a coma were called sloths? Shall I go on? The comparison is vulgar and denigrates the target of the criticism. It is disrespectful. It is, pure and simple, a lack of charity! In addition, the Pope, he who should confirm our Faith, he who should support us, defend us, just threw mothers and fathers of large families to the lions! My husband just tells me that tomorrow at work he will be questioned about the Pope’s words. 3 | P a g e Evidently, the neo-cons, the type of Catholic who appears so clever, so obedient, so faithful, even though so coward and so full of human respect, they will defend the His Holiness’ words with some mental gymnastics saying the media distorted his words, that they put out of context what he said, that he said “rabbits” in the best possible way.
